All checks for projects on GlobalGiving must be made out to the GlobalGiving Foundation and mailed to our address on or before December 30, 2013. GlobalGiving accepts checks issued in the U.S. above 10 U.S. dollars (USD). Checks issued by a non-U.S. country must be more than 100 USD or equivalent in the local currency. GlobalGiving will not cash international checks that are less than 100 USD.

Any activity not in the spirit of requesting separate individuals to support donations is being moderated by GlobalGiving and GlobalGiving reserves the right to permanently disqualify organizations for any attempts of misconduct. Online donations are considered unique if they are made from separate emails. We also request that different credit cards be used and monitor this in our databases. We are monitoring I.P. addresses, credit cards, mailing addresses and various other parameters in our system to ensure that the only unique, distinct donors are counted towards the Challenge thresholds.

Transaction fee for donations: GlobalGiving charges a 15% fee, but works to keep the fees you pay as low as possible while providing you great services and resources. The 15% fee helps cover the costs we incur to promote your organization and projects, provide you with fundraising training and tools, and maintain and improve our online technology in order to keep you connecting with new donors. With our add-on option, we also offer the donor the opportunity to make an additional donation to cover the fee so that you receive the intended amount.

Attempts to make multiple credit card transactions from a single IP address in a short period of time will block future transaction attempts from that IP address

Mobile donations are not counted towards the Challenge thresholds.

Cash donations will not be accepted.

All U.S. organizations that raise any funds will be disbursed those funds at the end of the January 2014. International organizations that raise at least 100 USD gross will also be disbursed the funds at the end of January 2014. International organizations that raise less than 100 USD will not receive their funds at the end of January. GlobalGiving will hold these funds until the end of the following Challenge on March 31, 2014. Should the organization not participate in the March Open Challenge, GlobalGiving will reallocate funds raised to another organization.

Any transactions that are reported as fraudulent and/or reversed jeopardizes your participation and GlobalGiving retains the discretion to disqualify your organization from the Global Open Challenge.
